The Real Possibility of Deicide - II

The exploration of the Zero Realm Enigma was the fundamental pursuit of adventurers, and the series of exploration rules associated with it had evolved over hundreds of years. From the current perspective, they were quite reasonable. 

The young Hydral had no intention of trampling on these rules. In his eyes, doing so for some compelling reason might be understandable, but if it was purely out of a passion for breaking the rules, anyone deriving pleasure from it would be a more dangerous villain than he could ever be.

Yet… this exploration permit reminded Ansel of other matters.

"If Marlina knew that Nerilia had already surpassed her in many ways... she would be both angry and heartbroken."

Ansel's agreement to Marlina's request did not mean he would favor her. 

After all, a secretary was just a job. Because Marlina had the capability to excel in it and had shown an admirable ambition, Ansel did not mind giving her the position.
